2 TELUS forward looking statement 2 Today's presentation and answers to questions contain statements about financial and operating performance of TELUS (the Company) and future events, including with respect to future dividend increases and normal course issuer bids to 2016 and the 2014 annual targets that are forward-looking. By their nature, forward-looking statements require the Company to make assumptions and predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. There is significant risk that the forward-looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of factors could cause actual future performance and events to differ materially from that expressed in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, our comments are subject to the disclaimer and qualified by the assumptions (including assumptions for the 2014 annual targets, semi-annual dividend increases through 2016, ability to sustain and complete multi-year share purchase programs through 2016), qualifications and risk factors referred to in the fourth quarter Management’s review of operations and Management’s discussion and analysis in the other 2013 quarterly reports, in the 2012 annual report, and in other TELUS public disclosure documents and filings with securities commissions in Canada (on SEDAR at sedar.com) and in the United States (on EDGAR at sec.gov). Except as required by law, TELUS disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, and reserves the right to change, at any time at its sole discretion, its current practice of updating annual targets and guidance.

25  EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS-IASB. We have issued guidance on and report EBITDA because it is a key measure used to evaluate performance at a consolidated level and the contribution of our two segments. For definition and explanation, see Section 7.1 in the 2013 fourth quarter Management’s review of operations.  Adjusted EPS does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS-IASB. This term is defined in this presentation as excluding (after income taxes): 1) Restructuring and other like costs; 2) favourable income tax-related adjustments. For further analysis of the aforementioned items see Section 1.3 in the 2013 fourth quarter Management’s review of operations. Appendix - Glossary 25
